Set beside spring-fed Upper Pahranagat Lake, the refuge provides critical habitat for resident and migratory species. Lush wetlands, meadows, and desert blooms support over 246 bird species, more than half of all recorded in Nevada.
Through tours and educational events, visitors can connect with the land and its rich biodiversity.
Fifteen free, first-come-first-served campsites sit along Upper Pahranagat Lake, offering peaceful nights under the stars. Sites include seating, fire rings, grills, and pit toilets. Tents, trailers, and RVs are welcome (no hookups).
Stay up to 14 days in a 31-day period and enjoy exploring the refuge at your own pace.
Fishing is available year-round in designated areas like Upper Lake and North Marsh, with catches including bass, sunfish, carp, and catfish.
North Marsh is closed to fishing from Oct 1–Feb 1. Boating is only allowed on Upper Lake (Feb 1–Sept 30) with non-motorized or electric boats. No trailers or gas motors permitted.
All fishing must follow state, federal, and refuge regulations
Designated hunting areas run from Dove Dike to Lower Lake, managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Nevada Department of Wildlife under state and federal regulations.
Geese, ducks, coots, moorhens, snipe, and rabbits may be hunted on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays during season. Dove hunting is permitted daily in September.
Always follow posted maps and signs marking closed or restricted zones.
Pahranagat NWR has roughly seven miles of hiking trails. A few trails, starting at the visitor center, include interactive exhibits, and others can
be accessed from multiple parking areas throughout the refuge.
